Mounted Police Update

This evening before the City Council Work Session I asked Pam, (the City's Finance Director) what was up with these two horses and she replied, "Nothing has been decided yet."

I then said, it's my understanding there are 4 horses total. Are there going to be 2 or 4 horses going up for Auction? She replied, the City does have 4 horses and they are trying to decide exactly what's going to happen to all 4 horses.

I then said, well are there going to be 4 horses going up for Auction then? She replied, we are trying to decide what we're going to do with all 4 animals.

I then said, I don't want to sound like a pain here Pam but I heard two of these horses are supposed to go back to their original owners? She replied, there are 4 horses we're trying to make decisions on and we have yet to make any decisions and there is no Auction date set as of yet. Sound familiar?

All of this follows a two week wait for answers towards these animals in which the Mayor assured me someone would get right back with me on an answer and once again there are no answers.

What I will say is, I was there, I spoke with Pam personally and it is my impression there will now be 4 horses going up for Auction. The Mayor despises these animals so badly that I'm sure she's going to do everything in her powers to make sure none of us are aware of their decision. That being said I am calling out to Debbie Campbell to please take this serious matter into her hands and get these answers for us? I have multiple letters from so many of these wonderful people who have had hands on experience with these horses and they are almost begging for answers.

Ron Alessi, Missing In Action

RON, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

WHERE ARE YOU RON????








As usual I was at the County Council Meeting this morning and the City Council Meeting/Work Session this evening and there was no sign of Ron Alessi? As usual the honorable Bob Culver is "always" at these important meetings but you'll never see Mr. Alessi attending such said meetings. He has clearly shown he not only doesn't give a crap about what goes on regularly in either the City or County, he does have the time to hide behind Radio Interviews and is certainly not the man he claims to be wanting to settle things between the Bloggers like a gentleman.

By the way Ron, can you explain how I'm not giving back to the Community if I attend each and every one of these events/meetings and you're never there? Some would say you need to start from the ground up. In your case you bypass all these meetings, have no experience or first hand knowledge towards what's going on in the County and you challenge me? Instead you go right to the executive level and bash all of us putting in our time? Bob Culver is there Ron, where have you been?

Maybe a surprise visit at your next event will settle our differences like gentlemen, right Ron?

Dear Fellow Bloggers

Dear Bill Duvall and Hadley,

Please check into a Corporation called Chesapeake Heating & Air. I came to learn this evening that Ron Alessi was the owner of this Company. It's also my understanding this company just recently folded while Ron had Tony Kurn, (his supposed partner) running the business for him. The Company had been up and running for the past 5 years and out of nowhere simply shut down. Enquiring minds want to know?

SAY GOODNIGHT GRACY!

As the frail George Burns, (Ron Alessi) went on the Bill Redish Show this morning he said the following.

We have a cancer in our community and it is the blogs. All responsible news organizations, like this radio station, answer to someone. The bloggers answer to no one. The bloggers think they are important and that they are a creditable news source. They are not news, they are garbage. They have been after me for the past three years, first because of my association with the Zoo, then because I was honored by a national organization and now because of one business civil law suit that made no economic sense for me to defend after 40 years in business.There are many good and decent individuals in our community who have been vilified, demeaned, and attacked for no good reason. It is no wonder that there is reluctance for qualified individuals to get involved in our community for fear that they will come under attack by these demented individuals. These bloggers serve no purpose but to destroy organizations, individuals and their families.They cower behind their computers and spew out venomous lies that discourage and demoralize individuals and organizations that give freely of their time, talent and treasure to improve the quality of life in our community. How come we do not see these individuals donating their time and their dollars to make our community better? I do not see any of their names listed in any of the many community organizations. I don't see them running for any office.Who gave them the right to judge others? What is their background? Maybe we need to check them out and see how moral and upstanding they are.There is no room in our community for rude and disrespectful individuals. If I am given the honor to be the first Wicomico County Executive, I will encourage free and open discussion of the issues. However, we will do it in a civil and respectful way and I will not permit any conduct that does not respect each other.Let me end by making this promise to the bloggers. You keep up the harassment of me and my family and you are asking for a fight. I am normally a mild mannered person and I like to resolve issues gentlemanly and peacefully. Up until this point I have ignored you, but if you continue to harass me or my family, when I get done with you an apology won't be adequate - I'll get in your wallet!

NOW,

Let's get one thing perfectly straight here Mr. Alessi, any time, any day, you want to attempt to get into my wallet, you better have a team of attorneys retarded enough to play that game and eat whatever you have left in your old age retirement to play with me, bring it on!

You said: "How come we do not see these individuals donating their time and their dollars to make our community better? I do not see any of their names listed in any of the many community organizations." "What is their background? Maybe we need to check them out and see how moral and upstanding they are."

Jennifer and I have given to the community. Jennifer put in 18 years at the Salisbury Zoo and herniated three disks in her back on the job and was forced out by you because she could no longer handle the physical stress from such work. That's NOT giving enough? After 18 years she was making a mere $27,000.00 a year, (after 18 years)! That's NOT enough? You terminated her position because she counldn't continue giving enough? We filed to get a Grandparent Friends Membership, sent in the money and you personally sent our money back and said we weren't friends of the Zoo and you had the City Council actually make up new rules "after" you had already turned us down, 18 years wasn't good enough? THEN we unconditionally donated funds to sponsor 4 animals for an entire year and you sent our money back! I have personally raised several hundred dollars for the Night of the Living Zoo as well as my time and all of our children's time to help run that event. Not good enough Ron?

We live in Delmar, DE. Ron Alessi, NOT Salisbury. Yet we still give back to that community every single day. Heck, you got $2.75 in parking garage fees and meters from us today alone! You mentioned that we have been after you for three years. My Blog Site is 2 months old. The other Blog Sites haven't been around for even two years. How good will you be with memory God Forbid you became County Executive? How many animals are in the Salisbury Zoo Ron? How many died last year Ron? How much money have you raised for that $2,000,000.00 building the AZA has demanded and you covered up? Why did you and Jim Rapp deny knowledge about the illegal pipes draining into the River from exhibits within the Zoo when you both knew they were illegal? Are you still upset with me because I found 5 mauled ducks in 9 days at the Zoo and Jim Rapp never told you about it? My pictures don't lie Ron. So threaten a lawsuit all you want, you DO NOT scare me at all! You are a Public Figure and I may say "anything" I like about you.

Quit sounding off like a cry baby because you're quickly losing ground. Because people are asking you how many animals died last year. Because people see the pollution in the river at the Zoo. Because people see dead animals in the Zoo. Because people realize there's next to no animals left at the Zoo. Because you are about to lose accreditation at the Zoo from the AZA because you covered up the building for 2 years so the Press wouldn't find out and now you're in deep trouble. Because you backed and supported Jim Rapp who admittedly stated he did in fact expose himself to women at the Zoo and you supported him, backed him and stood by his side while the MSM covered it up. Because you refuse to tell anyone just how many animals are at the Salisbury Zoo! Remember it here first Folks, there were 500 animals at the Salisbury Zoo 3 years ago! They might have 125 left. Keep in mind they keep adding animals every year too.

The Blog Sites are exposing FACTS! Even you are trying to claim there's a glitch in the accounting system that NO ONE ELSE has ever experienced but good ol' Ron Alessi is unique. You have enjoyed "manufactured news" from the Daily Times long enough. You may not like the fact that Blog Sites are making cheaters like you accountable but that is the real world Mr. Public and you cannot sue people. They can even lie about you Ron and there's nothing you can do about it. So nice try and big words for such a little man. I'll bet it felt good hiding behind that microphone and talking real big! Yeah, you're the man Ron. Say Goodnight Gracy!

County Council Exposes Another Major Flaw About Salisbury WWTP!

The County Council explained today how the Salisbury WWTP by law has to hold at least one days worth of reserve water at the Plant.

Even with the new improvements and upgrades the WWTP will NOT be ale to do so at TODAY'S volume until the year 2021!

Business People at today's meeting blamed the City Council and Developers for this major screw up as it is hurting Economic & Development for the honorable business person while Developers get away with whatever they want.

The County Council is very concerned about the WWTP issues but cannot do a whole lot about it at the moment. I say, swallow up the City of Salisbury into the County, get rid of the Mayor all together and the City Council and get what is inevitable done sooner than later. The City of Salisbury is going Bankrupt under this Mayor/Housewife who knows nothing about financing, unless it has to do with her making money on the sly on development deals, hence WalMart in Fruitland, right Barrie?

The County Council stated today that the WWTP is only holding 24% of the water required for such a Plant. Now do tell me Folks, if this were a private business, wouldn't we have been shut down by now? It's funny how we all have to live by their rules but they can do anything they want. Do as I say, not as I do.

Skipjacks Is Coming

It has been 2 years in the making and today the County Council have agreed to go the extra mile to get these fellas on track, the right track that is.

I was told today that they have been through 5 different interest rates with the Bank because it has taken so long. Annexations, WWTP issues, you name it, these people have experienced it.

On a rainy day these people are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. What scares me is, the City only figures this company will only use 1,200 gallons of water a day? Folks, John Jacobs and Co. are scaling down the water usage in order to free up more hook ups for the WWTP because 1,200 gallons a day just doesn't cut it.

City Of Salisbury Parking Garage, Or Haunted House?

This morning while I attended the County Council Meeting I was appalled by the lack of illumination in this Parking Garage!

Why ANY customer would have to put up with a security issue like this while paying good money to park their vehicle there is ridiculous!

I did not use a flash here and trust me, when I used the auto button to clear up the photo it actually halped make it look even brighter than it actually is in there.

Do they even have a Security Guard on duty there?

The Saliabury Zoo & Jim Rapp Continue To Be A Disappointment

Wow,

I just ran across the blog pertaining to the Salisbury Zoo. My father served as director there in the early 1990's and fought hard to improve its image and professionalism with a very limted budget. I certainly hate to think all of his work has basically gone by the wayside, especially in light of the fact that the young man currently running the zoo seemed bright to my father when he worked there.

I do know he recounted to me every month how he had to fight tooth and nail with the powers that be to make any changes to the zoo, regardless of how beneficial they were. He truly believed that Salisbury could become one of the finest small zoos in the U.S. , and he would be heart-broken to hear of Mr. Rapp's, and the city's, exploits.

Sincerely,
Johnson Bridgwater
